If I’m to believe the Fox News ticker outside my
Rockefeller Center building (I know—a big “if”), 150,000 people were expected
to march up Fifth Avenue in this most recent St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The past
several years, I’ve had a minimum of 10
people between me and the barricades on the parade route, so today I used the
excuse of running (admittedly necessary) errands so that I didn’t even attempt
to get close to the event.
Late in the afternoon, though, I still saw large
groups of fellow Irish-Americans in green in Times Square. And, as you can see
here, in this photo I snapped just before it began, Irish-like, to pour, there
was at least one vendor out there hoping to cash in on the residual foot traffic.
